        <div>I agree with Carolina's diagnosis of the national problems.
          However, I believe that the opening ceremony usually resonates
          more with politicians and the media than the closing session.
          As Mike remarked, it also sets the tone of the event, and I
          believe it is important that national issues are raised
          whenever appropriate throughout the whole meeting. For that,
          it is important that all stakeholders, from Brazil and abroad,
          are aware of the problems. Joana's remarks could make sure
          that they are.</div>

                Good that you sent an updated bio Jo, I was about to do
                that when I saw<br>
                Ian's email.<br>
                <br>
                I am very happy about the nominations, but I would
                invert the order of<br>
                possible. Having a Brazilian at the end, as we had Grace
                and Burcu as CS<br>
                for closing ceremony, is VERY important politically.<br>
                <br>
                Not just for CS, but actually more as a opportunity to
                have the closing<br>
                speech also refer to national issues and ask specific
                commitments from<br>
                the Brazilian policy makers there. As Joana is
                incredible aware, since<br>
                she is deeply involved in the discussions, folks are
                trying to<br>
                puncture Marco Civil and cut back on other digital
                rights in Brazil...<br>
                We - the digital rights community - lost a lot of
                attention due to all<br>
                the political corruption that has take over all the
                media attention.<br>
                <br>
                We need to have Joana - as a Brasilian - putting the
                "country" against<br>
                the wall in front of everybody. And I feel the closing
                ceremony is<br>
                better for that purpose.<br>
                <br>
                I am saying all this without having spoken with Joana.
                So, I am not sure<br>
                if she is available.<br>
                <br>
                But I wanted to make sure to leave my opinion on this
                issue.<br>
